Japan's+Traditional+Clothing

This article is about the various traditional ethnic garments worn in [|Japan]. While the clothing described below is still in use, they are mainly worn for ceremonies and special occasions- like weddings or [|festivals]. Both men and women favor "western-style" clothing in their daily lives- due to the comparative convenience and the influx of global fashion. Also, many Japanese no longer bother learning how the craft of tying a kimono. Japanese clothing is styled to fit the seasons. Clothing with more rustic colors and patterns (like [|russet] leaves) are favored in autumn, while in spring more vibrant colors and floral designs (like [|cherry blossoms] ) are common. In winter, those dressing in //kimonos// tend to wear darker colors and multiple layers (sometimes as many as ten).
